Where to stay

Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.

Abalone House £££££

Abalone House is a boutique guesthouse situated in picturesque Paternoster on the west coast, set in the tranquil south side of the village with wonderful views down to a white stretch of beach and the Atlantic Ocean. The ten comfortable rooms are set around a central courtyard, with garden or sea views, most with private patio or balcony. Reuben’s, a highly acclaimed restaurant with striking sea views, is the setting for meals and ready-packed beach bags are available for lunches on the beach.

Tswalu Kalahari £££££

  • South Africa

Tswalu Kalahari lies at the foot of the Korannaberg mountain range, facing westwards across the grasslands of the Kalahari. This 115,000-hectare private reserve has grown over the past 30 years, rewilding an area that was once farmland. Now, it is home to just two lodges, as well as a host of rare and endangered species. These include desert-adapted black rhinos, black-maned Kalahari lions, cheetahs and African wild dogs.
